Assistance to Students

The Benefits

Each student will have access to the Career Center computer lab, which provides student access to WorkKeys, a program designed to advance skill levels in the individual’s desired field.

At the end of instruction, students will be administered WorkKeys skills tests to validate their skills in relation to industry standards.

Job Readiness training is offered throughout the school year. Each student will prepare a resume, complete sample job applications and participate in a mock interview scenario.

Pioneer Technology Center believes in taking a personal interest in each student. At PTC we have high expectations for our students and we strive to provide the support to help them achieve that expectation.

This program is made possible by a Carl Perkins Grant

This grant is dedicated to increasing learner access to high-quality Career Technical Education (CTE) programs of study. With a focus on systems alignment and program improvement, Perkins is critical to ensuring that programs are prepared to meet the ever-changing needs of learners and employers. Perkins reflects the 100-year federal commitment to CTE by providing federal support for CTE programs and focuses on improving the academic and technical achievement of CTE students, strengthening the connections between secondary and post secondary education and improving accountability. Perkins affords states and local communities the opportunity to implement a vision for CTE that uniquely supports the range of educational needs of students — exploration through career preparation — and balances those student needs with the current and emerging needs of the economy.Funding from this grant is used in the Pioneer Technology Center Career Center, where students are provided with extra help in Math and Reading. They also receive one-on-one assistance for program skills and are provided job readiness training. Job Readiness training is offered throughout the school year. Each student will prepare a resume, complete sample job applications and participate in a mock interview scenario. Pioneer Tech believes in taking a personal interest in each student.
